do you believe in the patriarchy?

[bejeezusWC]

A poster on another thread said she views feminism as the struggle against patriarchy. That is how I view it too. I believe that is considered the rad fem stance?

Another poster said she didn't believe in patriarchy

I don't geddit

Why/how are women so unequal if not for patriarchal societies? WHO has been oppressing us?

Please tell me what you think, if you don't believe in patriarchy

Firstly, I trust Dittany's word. Secondly, I read the link. I tried googling colonial feminism, and was only getting post-colonial feminism in the result.

Now, stop picking on one poster, continuously...

It's a genuine question. There's lots of very good scholarly articles to soirced on the web, would would surely give a more rounded view.

Well, I have researched it and what I have read doesn't ring true with dittany's perspective.

The provide links.

Why are you so obsessed with Dittany?

Step away from the anti-feminist sources then.

And stop addressing posters on this thread in the third person. It's most rude

I'll address whoever I want on this thread as a basis for debate. That's what the thread is for. I have addressed several people on this forum not just dittany.

But you're repeatedly not addressing the person you're most frequently discussing. It's dehumanising.

Dittany, I don't think ES was addressing you. I think she was talking about you, which she frequently does, even on threads you have not posted on.

Dittany rocks!!!!

Dittany does indeed rock!!!!

Sorry - more 3rd person! Dittany, YOU rock!

Seriously, all these assumptions about my intentions are childish, but do feel free to continue with them as I will with my perspective. I couldn't care less about one poster in particular, what I care about is feminism being represented in its entirety.

So, your links then, ES?

Why does EclecticShock refuse to address you, Dittany? It confuses me.

Oh, and Porto, Eats, I agree with you both... Dittany, you rock.

What is ES's interpretation of feminism?

I have never noticed her mention it.

ES said she agreed very much with the Kyriarchy article she linked earlier.

i think she agrees a lot with himalaya too.

Though, I am not an expert, and would by no means refer to myself as RadFem, it was a total lot of "what about the menz".

Why men have too many relationship issues - too much porn - poor them.
Why working class men hate Maggie Thatcher.
Why women are at fault for passing on their body issues to their daughters - the evil bullying cows.

not sure that clarifies anything though

Anyone else want to have a bash and get it out of their system? Water off a ducks back, fortunately.
